Choose a focal point
Buttons, bows, appliqué and lace trim are part of the official decorating toolkit. Decide where you want the eye to go first, then choose details that support it.
Read the whole dress
A decoration that looks lovely close up may feel busy across the whole silhouette. Step back mentally: think about the neckline, waist and hem together, and let one area lead.
Keep version differences in mind
Build 403 fixed missing trim tags on some lace items. If a requirement seems to disagree with an older guide, check the item in your installed version.
Keep the catalog close
